We have had some great weather this year at Alaska West – weather that makes you want to take a quick swim, maybe wet wade during some spey instruction with Whitney Gould before dinner, or just sit around in shorts and a t-shirt talking with friends. Sounds great right?

Well that is not the whole story, because with the added heat this season we have also experienced an increase in bug life. Mosquitoes, no see ums, white socks…they are all out in force. Our best solution to beat the heat and the bugs is a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, but don’t forget to add some Kanektok “Axe” Body Spray, also known as 3M’s Ultrathon.
